I am so sick of my meals, veggies etc! Please help me with new food ideas!

Ok moms! I have never been one to stick to a diet plan and I know this is so important for baby but I am B O (ovulation) R E D with my food! I hate veggies anyways but I'm eating them as much as I can. There is only so much grilled chicken and green beans you can eat! Please share any of your favorite foods/recipes so I can have some new ideas, I got 8 more weeks of this misery then I am gonna inhale the most sugary, chocalatey cereal I can find. The end.

Agree with Mexican food. I made fajitas the other night and used wheat tortillas packed them full of grilled steak and all the toppings. Just no rice and beans. I've also made burgers with wheat buns and all the fixing. I've even had 2 patties to fill me up.

I tend to make the same meals I've always made but I only eat 1 serving of carbs like a small roll, 2/3 c rice or pasta.

I also mostly have stuck to the 'regular' foods our family eats, with some provisions. If DH (dear husband) makes meatloaf, he HAS to make beans and potatoes and not corn and potatoes because I can't double carb and I only get a little bit, not as much as I want.

I expand my foods as much as I can with the freebies, like adding mushrooms, tomatoes and onions to my scrambled eggs so they are bulkier.

I am also loving the mexican food. This baby has made me crave guac for the first 20 weeks of my pregnancy and now I don't want to have anything to do with it.

I had BBQ today from a hometown Texas BBQ place....potato salad, AND butter garlic baby reds, with pork loin and brisket....so good, and was 101. Didn't touch my numbers.

I treat myself to things like cheesecake because I can have a small pre-sliced piece for 23 carbs.

As far as veggies, I've stuck to salads and tried almost every type of dressing and spray, along with crutons, bacon bits, eggs, cheese, salad toppers, whatever I can to periodically change it up. I tend to stick to raw veggies for my snacks because it's fast and I'm lazy. But I did want to shove a head of broccoli down a doctor's throat the other day....LOL

I did have spighetti tonight. A cup size serving with marinara. I'm not crazy about pasta anymore for some reason but I'm at about 3 1/2 months of doing this now. I also had ONE drink of the new strawberry lemonade from McD's....*gag* you can taste the sugary syrup, it was so bad that NOBODY in the family would drink it.

I don't deny myself the fruit either. I eat it when I want it, and try not to go overboard with it. Oranges, apples, grapes, plums, peaches, strawberries.....

I've gotten into the frozen smoothies by yoplait or jamba juice, they are really good and low carb per serving so I can have one for a snack along with something else.
